WELCOME, Traveler
Amourim are interdimensional travelers! Through the use of wormholes, they are able to leap through the boundaries of different worlds in order to explore. The wormholes appear mysteriously around the Amourim's original dimension, but many think it is the work of their elder gods. Amourim exist to spread love and happiness to others, and live for companionship.We are a closed species group with free MYO slots for new members! Check one of our hubs on Discord or Toyhou.se to get started, or read on over here to get more information about the world of Altrun and its inhabitants!This site is best viewed on desktop or in landscape mode, but will work fine in a vertical mobile layout.
THE WORLD OF ALTRUN
Altrun is the world in which Amourim typically reside. It was created by the gods as a residence for the species within to prosper. It is a highly populated world with many Amourim settlements throughout. It is tended to very carefully by its inhabitants, for the most part... to the north lies a mysterious continent which is near-uninhabitable to most, but slowly, its corrupting influence spreads to the rest of the world. The reason it exists is long-forgotten.
Continents
Eldlight is believed to be the origin point of, and remains the center of, Amourim society. Its capitol, Everhome, is the most populous city on Altrun, it is close to the sea, convenient for trade. Eldlight is a continent primarily composed of sprawling grasslands, with a major snowy mountain range in the northwest. The mountains are a popular destination for more avid explorers.Daermight was settled soon after Eldlight, the capitol, Jul (Jewel), was established by both Aquatic and Land Amourim, near and on the two major lakes to the south. Daermight is primarily tropical jungle to the south, though it's more temperate in the north. It is the original home of some of the more popular pets, Drigoo and Pardors. Being so rainy and humid, land-dwelling Aquatics are very fond of Daermight.The central land of Deight, especially between the two rivers, is extremely fertile, making it a hub for Altrunian agriculture. The coast surrounding Purity Gulf is another major population center of the continent, as well as being a popular destination for travelers due to its pleasant temperatures and beautiful beaches. Deight's residents are often noted to be very kind.Lumos is the richest continent in terms of beautiful art and architecture. Lumos is next to the appropriately named Prospereon Ocean, a mild sea home to swaths of edible fish and glorious coral reefs. Lumos is rich in Amourim artistic and culinary history, as well as scientific advancement. It is a popular retirement destination for older Amourim.The vast majority of Kosmos is desert, being too unpleasantly hot for mammalians and avians, and too dry for aquatics. Due to this, the majority of Kosmos' population are reptilian Amourim, being generally more resistant to dry heat, though they do still reside around the cooler areas surrounding the lakes and rivers of the south. Thunderous dust storms often run through the deserts, leaving uniquely colorful vitrification in its path. The resulting naturally-stained glass is heavily used in residents' art and architecture.Shados originally existed under a different name, forgotten to history. It is the original home of the Odiumbra, once great and prosperous, destroyed by corruption, leaving residents to hide or flee from Shados long ago. The source of the corruption seems to be the enigmatic Spadeless Odiumbra, who appear extremely rarely and are believed to be physical manifestations of malice, unrelated entirely to actual Odiumbra or Amourim. It is spreading.
SEAS
The Prosperon Ocean was historically home to many of Altrun's sea-trade routes, being between the majority of the inhabited continents. It is a relatively shallow sea, being the most populated sea by aquatic Amourim. The bay of Lumos is home to a few major aquatic cities. The Prosperon ocean is also relatively warm, home to many reefs and fish.The Blight Ocean is the second most traveled sea, again being a major hub between continents. It is quite a bit deeper than the Prosperon Ocean, being home to some of the more isolationist aquatic cities, generally not being easily accessed by non-aquatics due to their depths. It borders on the Cursed Sea to the north, and as such, most of the population resides in the south between Lumos and Daermight.The Purity Gulf is a warm, semitropical gulf, situated within Deight, and home to a large aquatic population. Unlike the cities in the deeper oceans, the Purity Gulf is shallower and brighter. The towns and cities within are the ones most commonly visited by land Amourim due to the more familiar and welcoming atmosphere of the shallow gulf.Known for being frigid, the Forgotten Sea is not a very populous place, ergo its name being "forgotten". Its only settlements are small and often temporary, similar to explorer encampments. Braver aquatic explorers often seek out loot from wrecks caused by the icebergs above.The Cursed Sea are the waters surrounding, mainly to the south of, Shados. The waters here are rife with the same corruption that destroyed Shados. Dangerous shados-infected creatures live here. These waters are deep, with chasms torn open by the infection being inhabited by the unknown. More recently, a leviathan Spadeless Odiumbra was summoned, and subsequently downed here.
HISTORY
The dunes of Kosmos, infected by strange Shados murk.
early amourim
The planet Altrun, Amourim, and Odiumbra were created by the six gods.For the first few thousand years, Amourim lived out their lives as nomadic hunter-gatherers. With time, the seven subspecies began to interact more between each other, and this was what began civilization and the first major advancements for Amourim.Cities began to form underwater, on land, and deep in the deserts. The relations between settlements were strongly based on peaceful trade of goods. Even now, many parts of Altrun still have some of the same major exports as they did thousands of years ago, alongside the newer technological goods of the modern age.Early Amourim noticed quickly that some Amourim were born without spades, which was strange to them from their deeply religious perspective. It was not unique to any one subspecies, but it perturbed the superstitious early Amourim as strange that some Amourim were to be created without the Spade, seen as one of the most important connections to the gods they could have. Initially, though, this was seen more as an oddity than a curse.
the odiumbra
The final continent Amourim reached was Shados, at the time a gleaming, prosperous continent, perhaps even more advanced than their own settlements. It was home to the Odiumbra, who were closely linked to the Amourim, even possessing spades just like them.Amourim were originally tense about the revelation that they had shared their planet with an equally intelligent species from the time of creation, but most were quick to move on from their woes and were eager to be friendly with the Odiumbra just as they had been among their own subspecies, wishing to learn what they knew, as they seemed to be much more advanced than Amourim.In this time of peace, Amourim learned much from the Odiumbra, such as their more powerful magic and the ability to create portals to travel. With this knowledge, Amourim are now able to travel anywhere across space, leading to the greatest advancements yet and permanently changing the culture of Amourim to be one of seeking knowledge and companionship across the stars, much like they are today.
the banishment
After the Amourim and the Odiumbra formed a peaceful bond, came the Spadeless Odiumbra, enigmatic beasts who were much larger, stronger, and more powerful than any other creature on the planet. They scourged and corrupted everything they walked on, killing the very earth with every step. They were understood by neither Amourim nor Odiumbra, but regardless, Amourim took this as a sign not to trust the Odiumbra and drove them back to Shados out of fear.The Spadeless took this as an opportunity to take Shados for themselves, destroying the once-glorious continent, shredding it down to a corrupted wasteland devoid of most life. The Spadeless killed even Odiumbra at any chance they got, leading the survivors to hide underground, with giant stone towers protecting their underground settlements from the Spadeless and the newly-formed Shados Beasts.The Amourim are horrified at the continent's transformation, sealing it with a magical barrier, trapping the Spadeless, but also imprisoning the innocent Odiumbra. This is also when Shados actually got the name "Shados."Due to a perceived connection between spadeless Amourim and the Spadeless Odiumbra, it was not long before spadeless Amourim became societal outcasts due to fears of them being a danger to Amourim society as Spadeless Odiumbra had been.
separation and ignorance
Many Amourim disagreed with the decision to banish the Odiumbra, and tensions rose between the subspecies of Amourim. Out of fear of futher conflict, the Reptilians sealed themselves away in the deep deserts of Kosmos, and the Aquatics hid in the depths of the ocean, leaving the Mammalians and Avians as the main inhabitants of most of the land.A great deal of time passed, enough for the Banishment to be forgotten entirely. A silver lining of this great ignorance was that the stigma against spadeless Amourim was forgotten with time as well, only the most deeply religious Amourim still uphold it now.
the return of the odiumbra
A great deal of time passed, enough for the Banishment to be forgotten entirely, and for many Mammalians and Avians to live thinking they were the only Amourim, and the only inhabitants of Altrun. A silver lining of this great ignorance was that the stigma against spadeless Amourim was forgotten with time as well, only the most deeply religious Amourim still uphold it now. It was also in this time that the Aquatic Amourim re-emerged from the depths to give the land-dwellers another chance.The seal around Shados was never perfect, though. The sea surrounding Shados was corrupted, becoming what is now the Cursed Sea. The spread of corruption onto the land, and even to some Amourim, prompted explorers to venture back into Shados itself, finding themselves in the caverns the Odiumbra had long gotten used to living in. The protective towers had begun to crumble and corrupt. The defeat of the corrupted tower drew out the hidden Odiumbra, and effectively began their reintegration.Most Odiumbra were quickly accepted by the Amourim, who were blissfully unaware of the events that had transpired thousands of years ago. The Odiumbra, however, were aware, and were rightfully not so trusting with the Amourim. With time, though, they were once again united, this time against the threat of Shados.
the corruption
The Spadeless never really went away, and now, they were joined by a cult of regular Odiumbra who worshiped them as gods, who fervently carried out their will to take Altrun for Shados.They began to corrupt the land with beasts born of shados magic. Most notably is the recent corruption and restoration of Kosmos, which caused the Reptilian Amourim to emerge from hiding, desperate for help restoring their land from the infection.When the infection cleared, strange stone monoliths had taken its place, telling the story of the banishment.Shortly after, disaster struck, a destructive, giant hydra was summoned by the cult, seemingly the largest source of the corruption itself. Amourim and Odiumbra alike came together to battle, and defeat, the Shados Hydra. Is this the end of the corruption? Can Shados be reclaimed by the Odiumbra?

THE GODS
There are six gods of Altrun, each corresponding to a significant feature of Amourim.
lear, god of wing
Lear, the god that blessed Amourim with their wings and fins. A cheerful free spirit who runs wild across dimensions, Lear is unpredictable but still good-hearted. He likes playing tricks, mischief, and other harmless tomfoolery. His haphazard behavior sometimes gets on the nerves of other gods but he's amiable, so he's hard to stay upset with for long.He is associated with the months March and April. Offerings to him usually consist of fresh rainwater, fruits, toys, sweets, bells, and notes.
Those aligned with Lear are typically seen as friendly creatives, but march to the beat of their own drum and dislike being told what to do. They can sometimes be mischievous but generally have hearts of gold.Blessings from Lear usually bring good weather, luck, and easygoing moods.
othello, god of horn
Othello blessed Amourim with their horns, and the pride of wearing them as a crown. Othello is often seen as a leader, a king. He is stoic, and often stony, but does have the best interest of all at heart.He is associated with the months of May and June. Common offerings include metals and morelians.
Those aligned with Othello are often considered to have a natural knack for leadership, they tend to be more commanding and work best with others rather than alone.Blessings from Othello usually bring unification, stability, and motivation.
ophelia, god of spade
Ophelia is the god who granted Amourim their spades.She is associated with the months of January and February.
prospero, god of transformation
Prospero is the god who granted Amourim their magic, and ability to shapeshift.He is associated with the months of July and August.
titania, god of plume
Titania is the god who granted Amourim their fur, scales, and feathers.She is associated with the months of November and December.
caliban, god of eye
Caliban is the god who granted Amourim their eyes, sight, and sense.He is associated with the months of September and October.
More Information Coming Soon
AMOURIM
Go here for information on designing Amourim.Amourim are the most populous species that reside on Altrun, living almost everywhere on the planet, land and sea. They are a semi-shapeshifting species, able to shift between main and secondary forms, which have different abilities depending on subspecies. They can also switch between quadrupedal and anthropomorphic forms, and may even take on humanoid forms occasionally as well.There are seven main subspecies of Amourim, four of which are subtypes of Aquatic.
Avian
Mammalian
Reptilian
Aquatic
LAND AMOURIM
Mammalian and Avian Amourim are generally the most populous of the Amourim subspecies in many regions. They are capable of flight, and often tend to build their cities with verticality in mind. They're able to inhabit cold and temperate regions most comfortably due to their fur/plumage.Reptilian Amourim are a lot harder to find around, but tend to live in arid or otherwise hot regions, such as Kosmos, where many of them had been in hiding for ages due to disputes regarding Shados. Reptilian Amourim are capable of gliding, and are often good climbers due to their gecko-like feet.All land Amourim possess fur, feathers, or scales, which cover their bodies. They thin out significantly on the lower limbs and face, which often show their differently-colored skin.
AQUATIC AMOURIM
Aquatic Amourim inhabit Altrun's seas, and are found in almost all parts of it, and more rarely in particularly dangerous areas such as the Cursed Sea or Forgotten Sea. They can also be found in bodies of freshwater on Altrun's continents. The Aquatics were in hiding for a long time for the same reason as the Reptilians.Fin Aquatics have thin fins like most bony fish, and are excellent distance swimmers.Manta Aquatics have stingray or manta like fins, and are great at gliding through the water at high speed.Tentacle Aquatics possess tentacles, which allow them a great amount of dexterity and control in the water.Snail Aquatics have shells which grant them a protective hiding place on the go.
TIDBITS
Government: Altrun is governed by a council of eight members representing each subtype of Amourim, and one Odiumbra member. Many cities, towns, and regions also have local governments of some kind. Amourim have a pretty strong sense of unification so there are no national borders besides physical separation of continents.Magic: Amourim have a small amount of inherent magic which allows them their ability to shapeshift. They also often can learn portal magic, which is used very frequently and is taught to most Amourim in basic education. Amourim may also learn elemental magic, but it is rarer to see, often resulting from mutations. Amourim first learned travel magic from the Odiumbra.Mutations: Amourim frequently have mutations. They're (mostly) not mutations in the genetic sense, but it is a common term for the more unusual, but not too uncommon, variations Amourim often show. Most mutations are accepted by society, but a few do get a bad rap. Most notably, the Spadeless mutation was treated as an ill omen by Amourim society in the early days, but it is becoming more understood that it's normal and not something to fear or shun.
Shados mutations are also looked on in fear, due to their infectious, and unpleasant nature. Shados mutated Amourim aren't inherently evil, but some can have their minds corrupted.Aquatics on Land: Aquatic Amourim are able to live on land as long as they're careful to keep their skin moisturized. On the other hand, Land Amourim can go to underwater settlements but it requires external dive equipment to do so. Living that way would be incredibly difficult.Otherworldly Travel: Amourim are able to travel to other worlds relatively easily with their portal magic, and many often choose to live on other worlds. These other worlds have influenced Altrun.
ODIUMBRA
Go here for information on designing Odiumbra.Odiumbra are far less populous than Amourim, and originally resided on the land Shados used to be. Odiumbra are now spread among Amourim populations, no longer able to safely inhabit their corrupted former home.
There are three types of Odiumbra:
Standard
Spadeless
Awakened
Awakened (Amourim Form)
STANDARD ODIUMBRA
The vast majority of Odiumbra are considered standard Odiumbra.
Odiumbra all possess a form of Magic that is the pure, uncorrupted precursor to Shados Magic. Just like Shados Magic, it most often presents as purple in color when in use.Odiumbra have orbs, which function as magical eyes. They may also have false 'eyes' on their faces, which will always appear closed. The Orb is the "heart" of the Odiumbra and they cannot function without it. Even when retracted inside of an Odi, an orb can sense everything unhindered.Odiumbra have small "wings" on their necks, which they use to fly despite their size using their strong attunement to magic.
SPADELESS ODIUMBRA
Spadeless Odimbra are rare, but incredibly dangerous beasts. They are much larger than standard Odiumbra and lack orbs, instead having real eyes on their heads. They also have much weaker magic than standard Odiumbra, and are unable to fly, lacking wings. They rely on their size and strength.
AWAKENED ODIUMBRA
Awakened Odiumbra are much closer attuned to some of, or all of, the gods, and are able to transform into Amourim. They have the strongest magic of all Odiumbra types. They are extremely rare to find.
TIDBITS
Society: Odiumbra, long ago, used to live on Shados, which was once a prosperous kingdom. They were advanced due to their strong magical ability. They and the Amourim met sometime long ago, and the Odiumbra taught Amourim some of their magic. This led to all of Altrunian society becoming more advanced in general, as well as an era of growth. After the scourge of the Spadeless destroyed and corrupted Shados, the Odiumbra were nearly forgotten due to Shados being sealed away.
After the seal on Shados was broken, the Odiumbra slowly began to disperse and live among Amourim. They are working with the Amourim to free Shados of its curse.Magic: The different subtypes of Odiumbra can have differing magic. Standard Odiumbra and Awakened Odiumbra are mostly the same, though the Awakened Odiumbra also possess the transformation magic held by Amourim. Spadeless Odiumbra have cursed, corrupting magic that drains life and causes ills.Relationship to the Gods: While Odiumbra, like Amourim, worship the gods, they are actually most attuned to one in particular, Caliban. Caliban has been lost and somewhat forgotten by Amourim, though his blessings never left the people of Altrun. It's often believed by Odiumbra that their orbs are the eyes of Caliban. Most non-Awakened Odiumbra don't care much for Prospero due to lacking his blessing.

AMOURIM INFO
DESIGN INFO SHEETS
The MYO guide, Mutation Sheets, and Face/Leg Color Rule guide are all here. Click on them to view them at full size!
EXTRA INFO
Amourim can have up to 3 tails without any mutations! More than 3 would require a Unique Mutation!
"Normal-Shaped" Pupils can be round or slit!
The Verdant mutation also allows for fungi, mosses, and plantlike protists such as algae, seaweed, or kelp.
Spadeless Amourim may be rejected in more superstitious communities due to a perceived connection to spadeless odiumbra. They are much more often accepted in current Altrunian society than they used to be, as it came to be more well known that the connection to spadeless odiumbra is false.
To propose a unique mutation not listed on the sheet, message Kingpink to discuss!
AMOURIM SHAPESHIFTING
Amourim are able to shift freely between several forms.Main Forms are how Amourim are usually when not using their secondary form. They can be Anthro, Feral, or Humanoid in their main form.Secondary Forms are the functional forms Amourim use, mainly to augment their movement. Avians and Mammalians can fly with larger wings, Reptilians can glide with their sails, Fin, Manta, and Tentacle Aquatics are able to swim better with larger fins, and Snail Aquatics are shieleded with enlarged shells.
Amourims' legs become "stick" legs in secondary form. This applies to both front and back legs in feral form, and only to the legs in anthro form, leaving the arms and hands normal. Humanoids in secondary form retain only the enlarged wings/wing equivalents.
ODIUMBRA INFO
ODIUMBRA DESIGN INFO SHEETS
The Odiumbra MYO sheets are both here. These only cover designing standard Odiumbra, as spadeless and awakened Odiumbra are adopt-only for now.Click the sheets to view in full size.
EXTRA INFO
Odiumbra can also look very different to how they look on this sheet. For example, they can be anthro.
The neck-wings no longer require specificaly three fingers. They may be fingerless, or have more or less than three.
Odiumbra use Shados magic, but specifically the original version of it before it was corrupted. Spadeless Odiumbra use corrupted Shados Magic.
PETS
Amourim and Odiumbra like to keep pets! There's a wide variety of Altrunian pets to choose from:
STANDARD PETS
The most common, land-dwelling pets.
Feldula are like housecats but teethier. They love to bite and nibble on things to keep their teeth in check. Their eyes can be on both sides now! They can have between 1-8 eyes, with any placement on the face.
Open SpeciesLuppies are eyeless creatures, similar to puppies, even as adults! They are blind, but have exceptional hearing. They often form close attachments to owners very easily!
Open SpeciesDrigoo originate from Daermight. They are often shy, and take time to form bonds with. They are squishy and are partial to being hugged!
Closed Species [Pet MYO Ticket needed]Pardors are also from Daermight. They are not as friendly as other pets and require experienced owners to care for! They are finnicky and only eat insects.
Closed Species [Pet MYO Ticket needed]
AQUATIC PETS
Water-dwelling pets. Kept by Aquatics and by Land Amourim in Aquariums.
Cuddlenauts are small nautili. They are popular among land Amourim as aquarium pets, though they have very rigid requirements, so are often kept by more experienced aquarists. They are quite intelligent as well, being able to solve simple puzzles for food.
Open SpeciesPondskips are amphibious, living mostly in, well, ponds. They can be kept in large terrariums, though they're not always easy pets, able to spit out little sparks of fire. Their little wings are vestigial, but they are still able to minimally glide. They mainly eat insects.
Open SpeciesSloggs are quiet and gentle creatures, and relatively easy pets to care for. They are herbivorous and commonly eat algae, kelp, or even land-vegetables and leafy greens. The feelers on their head are used to explore through touch.
Closed Species [Pet MYO Ticket needed]Skutters are friendly marine mammals. They are friendly and loyal, and in the wild are often seen working together. They do best when living with other skutters, so they are often kept in pairs. They are carnivores, mostly eaying fish and shellfish. Some skutters have dorsal fins.
Closed Species [Pet MYO Ticket needed]
SPECIAL PETS
Pets that are a little rarer or harder to take care of.
WISHUUMS
Wishuums are tiny little wish fairies, who are born of pure-hearted wishes upon the stars. They are incapable of forming from malicious desire. Their physical attributes reflect the wish they formed from!
They can form from any wish! If someone wished really hard for cake, a little cake wishuum may form!
Open Species
LEPIDOPURRA
Lepidopurra are strange, mothlike felines that tend to appear around the Shadows' Eve season! Nobody knows where they come from, but if you're wandering the night during Shadows' Eve, one may begin to follow you around! They are known to be clingy and affectionate to those they attach to.Restricted, Seasonal (Cannot be made with a normal pet MYO)

group rules
These rules apply to all designs within the group, regardless of designers’ personal terms. We will not enforce your personal TOS for you.
When referring to “Amourim”, please note that all these rules apply to Odiumbra as well, it is just simpler to say Amourim as they are the main species of this group.
GENERAL
Amourim is meant to be a safe, welcoming community for all to join. Harassment, abuse, bigotry, or otherwise disrupting the safety of our members is grounds for removal from the group.
Please allow the Moderators to handle any problems or rule-breaking, this is to keep third parties out of trouble, and to make sure things are handled properly.
We do not allow NSFW or adult content in our Discord server, DeviantArt group, or Toyhouse World, or in official prompts. Gore is allowed but only with appropriate content tagging.
Amourim does not have a public blacklist. We understand that some species use them to warn other users about potential scammers, but we trust users to use their discretion to avoid scams.
☆ Always check to make sure an Amourim you are being sold/traded is on the masterlist, the owner is who they say they are, and that it is not voided. If you are unsure, feel free to contact a mod for assistance.We do not allow official co-ownership. We cannot stop you from unofficially co-owning an Amourim, but we will only recognize the owner listed on the ML as the true owner. We cannot moderate co-ownership disputes, so do this with caution.
TRADING AND RESELLING
Amourim who were originally purchased with real currency and have a USD sale value on the Masterlist may be sold for that value.
☆ Even if you were not the original buyer, and received it as a trade for other things, you may resell the Amourim.
☆ Additional artwork may add to this value if it is properly logged to show what exactly is adding value. Personal art, commissions, and art trades all count toward the value of an Amourim. Gift art from other users shouldn’t be counted.
☆ This also applies to Amourim who were not originally sold for USD.
☆ Users found to be abusing this to inflate the value way beyond what it should be will receive a warning.In emergency situations (urgently needing money for necessities), we may allow you to resell an Amourim that otherwise could not be resold. Please contact a staff member about this beforehand! We will not invade your privacy, or ask for confidential personal information. If a mod asks for something like this, please contact King or Chel.
Vouchers are not acceptable trade items unless it is for a specific, already-existing object or design, and of specific value.
☆ Okay: "Trading [XYZ Amourim] to whoever buys [ABC Adopt] for me."
☆ Not Okay: "Seeking a $20 voucher.” to buy an unspecified item in the future.All trades are final once both parties agree to it. We will not force anyone to reverse a trade unless a scam is involved.
☆ Only make offers and agree to trades if you are certain you want to go through with it.
☆ We will not enforce closed trades or tradebacks for the same reasons as above.If you have an Amourim who is an alternate form of another one of your OCs, do not sell or trade them separately from other forms without redesigning them first. Do not put the burden of redesigning on the new owner.
☆ In cases like this, we will not allow the new owner to revert to the previous design, so be sure to let us know if you are doing this.
MYOS AND REDESIGNS
Amourim designs may not be heavily based on copyrighted IPs or characters. Very light inspiration is okay, but if the design is an obvious copy, we will ask you to redesign it. References and apparel are allowed if they are not used to bypass the rule.
☆ For example, a Pokemon t-shirt or the occasional ‘cosplay’ drawing would be okay, but your character always being dressed like Ash, would not be.
☆ Please note that we may not catch everything and this doesn’t mean we’re being selective about enforcing our rules. Nobody knows every piece of media or character, and something that may be obvious to you may slip by us.You may only create an MYO Amourim with the use of an MYO Slot. Mutations may only be used if you have the correct tickets.
☆ You can commission someone else to design your MYOs for you, as long as you have a slot.
☆ You may only have up to 3 Unique and 3 Shados mutations per Amourim.Adopts may only be made by Guest Artists and Moderators. Customs may only be made by Moderators.
Any form of redesign is done at the owner’s discretion and the original designer of the Amourim is not required to allow a redesign to happen.
☆ Redesigned Amourim may be reverted back to previous designs. The only exception is if a previous design is based on another user’s OC.Minor design changes do not require approval and can be added and changed freely.
☆ This includes hairstyles, clothing and accessories, scars, missing limbs, and minor marking changes such as freckles, tattoos, or small symbols.Major design changes that leave the design recognizable and do not add colors may be done for free but require approval.
☆ This includes any major alterations to markings, moving colors around without adding any, removing colors, removing mutations, or updating an older design to fit new design rules.
☆ You can add colors if you use one of the color potions from our shop. Each color potion encompasses all shades of that color, and you can add multiple shades at once with one potion.
☆ You can add mutations using mutation tickets, and swap them for mutations of the same type with a mutation swapper. (Limited for Limited, Unique for Unique, and Shados for Shados)Complete design overhauls are allowed but require prior discussion with Kingpink to ensure everything is done correctly.
We do not gate-keep injuries or disabilities behind traits or rarities. The only thing we're not going to allow is someone using injuries/disabilities to be ableist.
☆ For example, if someone is found to be removing all the limbs from their character to make them “look funny”, or is someone who frequently makes ableist remarks about their disabled characters, they may receive a warning.
☆ You do not need the ‘Synthetic Parts’ mutation for prosthetics! That mutation is mainly for making robotic Amourim, or Amourim made out of inorganic materials.You may not change the subspecies of your Amourim.
If you feel your design was rejected wrongly, or you weren’t provided with a rejection reason, you can feel free to contact King or Chel about it for assistance.
VOIDING
Any Amourim may be voluntarily voided at any time, for any reason. There is no extra fee or requirement beyond letting us know about it.
☆ We do not require the permission of the designer.Voided Amourim can be used in any way, but you can no longer use them officially in our group. If you do not go the route of redesigning the character, it is advised, but not required, to note somewhere that it is a voided Amourim.
Voided Amourim are no longer under our TOS so we will not officially handle ownership or design updates. They are no longer under our moderation.
Voiding is permanent for the time being.
Users who are permanently banned will also have all of their characters voided automatically. We will never revoke a user's characters, only their status as an official Amourim.
faq
How do I participate in Amourim?
Amourim is currently mainly found on Discord, Toyhouse, and DeviantArt. You should be able to participate in events, prompts, and other activities through any of those services. All have dedicated places to update the banks, masterlist, and approve designs.How do I acquire an Amourim?
Amourim can be acquired in a number of ways:

Purchase an Amourim MYO Egg in the shop for 6 Gold
Acquire an official adopt from one of our Guest Artists, Mods, or Species Owners
Purchase a custom from the shop for 100 Gold, or purchase a custom with USD from a Mod or Species Owner
Secondhand through other members
*FTO: Someone who has never owned an Amourim and does not currently own a MYO slot.Does the FTO Starter MYO have any limits?
Not really! The only thing that sets it apart from a regular shop-purchased MYO is that it cannot be transferred to another person until it’s designed! Otherwise, there are no subspecies, palette, or other restrictions on the actual design you can make. You are also able to apply Mutation Tickets if you have any.
Once the design is made and on the Masterlist, you are able to trade it as you would any other Amourim.How do I get Morelians?
Morelians are mostly acquired by drawing Altrun-related art.
Silver is what you earn normally by submitting any art made outside of events, and Gold is earned by event participation, mostly through prompt entries. You can also earn small bonus amounts of Gold occasionally, such as earning 5 on your birthday.How do I get Mutations?
You can add mutations to your Amourim with mutation tickets.
The most common mutation ticket is the Limited Mutation Ticket which costs 30 Gold in the shop, and is often given out as an event prize. This allows you to use any Limited Mutation.
Unique Mutation Tickets cost 80 Gold and allow you to make a custom mutation or use one of the pre-existing ones listed on the sheet.
Shados Mutation Tickets are seasonal, and can be bought in Roach’s Shop, or rarely acquired through events. They cost 60 Gold.
You will also occasionally see mutation tickets for a specific set mutation, such as a Verdant Mutation Ticket, which would allow you to specifically apply the Verdant Mutation. These are earned randomly in events!How do I get an Odiumbra?
Odiumbra are much rarer than Amourim. Like Shados Mutation Tickets, Odiumbra MYO Orbs are purchasable from Roach’s Shop when it’s open, for 80 Gold.
Odiumbra adopts may show up rarely throughout the year as well, but are always guaranteed to be available for auction on Halloween Night annually.
Spadeless and Awakened Odiumbra are extremely rare and will only show up in the form of adopts made by Kingpink or CHELRY.When is Roach’s Shop open?
Roach’s shop opens once or twice a year, and is guaranteed to be open in the month of October. Roach sells Shados Mutation Tickets, Odiumbra MYO Orbs, and Randomized Limited Mutations. He may occasionally also sell other things…What can I add to an Amourim for free?
Amourim can have any of these features for free:
Any body type, shape, or proportions from real people and animals.
Round or slit shaped pupils, heterochromia, multicolored eyes.
An anthro, feral, and humanoid form.
Whiskers or barbels.
Any natural teeth that aren’t razor teeth, including saber teeth, tusks, and fangs. Avian Amourim can’t have teeth.
Any subspecies, there are no rarities attached to the various subspecies of Amourim.
Prosthetics, disabilities, or missing parts. Missing eyes and horns must show the remnants in some way, like a closed eye or broken horn piece where they once were.
The Synthetic Parts mutation is not intended for prosthetics, it’s for advanced robots or Amourim who are naturally made of something like glass.If there’s something you think would be a good addition to this FAQ, feel free to let us know or ask!
